Thank you very much for your suggestion. I would still suggest to go with our X driver source which will use 3D HW accerleration with DRM too and will be released soon.

(was Re: [Patch 0/3] Resubmit VIA Chrome9 DRM via_chrome9 for upstream) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 XGI previously had this problem, and I suspect VIA is having the same problem now. They want to release the code to their 3D driver, but it's based on a version of the OpenGL sample implementation licensed from SGI. However, the SI has since been released under some sort of open-source license. My guess is that it wouldn't be a huge amount of work (though not trivial either) to rebase the driver on the open-source version of the SI. Even if it only partially works, this would allow release of the driver code without license concerns.
